Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Kamara, listed as questionable with an ankle issue, is expected to suit up against the Patriots in Week 6.
  • NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the Saints are not expected to trade Kamara despite ongoing inquiries before the Nov. 4 deadline.
  • The Chiefs and Chargers have been contacting teams about running backs, with Kamara cited as a player expected to draw interest, per Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
  • Kamara is under a two-year, $24.5 million extension through 2026, and cap implications plus limited draft-return projections reduce New Orleans' incentive to move him.
  • ESPN's Dan Graziano flagged Kendre Miller's encouraging play as a factor in league speculation, while Kamara's early-season production has dipped to 283 rushing yards and 77 receiving yards through five games.
